XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) has recently overtaken Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) in trading volumes on South Korean exchanges, recording $110.9 million on Upbit and $41 million on Bithumb. The XRP/KRW trading pair emerged as the most actively traded on Upbit, outperforming Bitcoin's $88.6 million and Ethereum's $67 million, as reported by CoinGecko. South Korea has long been a significant market for XRP, where traders often engage in speculative activities, particularly during periods of heightened interest. Currently, XRP is trading around $1.44 to $1.45, reflecting a 3% increase over the week, although this is less than the gains seen in BNB (CRYPTO: BNB) and Solana (CRYPTO: SOL), both of which have risen approximately 8%. The backdrop of South Korea's economic landscape, particularly the recent decline in the Kospi index due to government comments on corporate tax revenue, has made the XRP flow noteworthy as traders focus on familiar high-beta cryptocurrencies. Technical analysis indicates that XRP's price is holding steady above critical support levels, with potential for further gains if it can close above the $1.4681 resistance.
